[Help] Wheel Problem

Hi There,
I got an HTC Cruise for 6 months now, it works just fine until this week.
The Navigation wheel doesn't work anymore. It works to go up/down or left/right but i couldn't scroll or roll anymore. The device didin't fall or something like that.
Someone got an idea ?
Thanks.

obviously you will have thought to soft reset the device, have you tried a full hard reset?
if not, give this a go, and make sure you back EVERYTHING UP, as this will wipe your device.
If that dont work then its hardware and you need to send it back to the shop for repair as it is still under warranty.

same problem here. i think its a manufactury problem.
made in taiwan

I wish I could figure out how to stop my wheel from scrolling/rolling and just have it go up/down/left/right. More often than not, that damn wheel navigates me everywhere but where I want to be. Maybe if you figure out how to fix yours, we'll have a way to turn it off

Software gone crazy on my C600. Please help!!

Hello there,
I'm by no means an expert with mobile phones, but was recently given a C600 and having done some research on the net managed to unlock the phone myself.
However, although the phone was working fine with an O2 prepay sim card for the past few weeks, it has now decided to have what can only be described as a 'fit' every time i try to use it.
Half the time the three colured screen comes up when i turn it on, which says tornado, and a series of numbers, and then when i can get the phone switched on properly, half the time some of the buttons refuse to work, and the other half the phone will decide to flip between the earpiece volume setting screen, the camera, and the voice command thingy, when all i am trying to do is to text my mate to see if he wants to go for a beer!
Needless to say i haven't had a beer for the last two days, and am a little annoyed about being constantly outwitted by a mobile phone, so i decided to come to the experts for help.
Thanks to anyone who can help me resolve this issue!!

thanks guys, i clearly came to the right place here!
great.

what rom did you install on your tornado?

Wow you waited whole hour and a half before you gave up to wait for an answer, LOL.
PS
Your problem is cammera button - its half stuck so you need to clean it.

didn't change the rom at all as i heard that the new one was no good, its as it came out of the factory...
however, the toggle button is now not responding at all as with many other c600s from what i can tell on the net, so i may have to install the new rom anyway and hope that solves the problem.
i have a feeling that i will have to go through the entire process of unlocking the phone again when i have installed the new rom also, i'm starting to wonder if it is worth it....but i do really like the phone so it would be a shame to give up
thanks a lot for the help, if anyone else can help please post...
thanks

25 and a half hours, but sorry for the impatience its just very frustrating to not be able to use a phone when i have no spare.
i'm pretty sure the problem runs a little deeper than the camera button but i'll give it a try.
thanks

[Q] Keyboard and screen problems on Motorola Milestone XT720

Hi guys,
I'm using Motorola Milestone XT720 as stated in the title, and it is running on Dexter 2.2 Froyo.
About a month or so ago, my phone keyboard had been giving me problems, the letter 'Q' and '1' on the keyboard are no longer working. Then recently about 3weeks ago, the whole row including of 'Q','W','E','R','T','Y','U','I','O','P' is not working as normal. Now the column of 'Q' is not working as normal. Maybe i should say the screen. But by giving the phone a little knock on the screen it will allow me to type properly for awhile but the problem will return after awhile.
I read up on posts and some say it is the software problems.
What could be the cause? Is there any solution to it? Can you guys help me out please! Thanks in advance.

There is a post in here for a new digitizer replacement, not sure if that would fix it, but not if it is a software issue. what kind of warranty do you have? my provider gives us 2 years. I'm not qualified to answer your question just my 2 cents. Good luck bud.

Try using a different keyboard and if qwerty isn't working with a different keyboard, it is probably a hardware issue. My guess is that the touch screen isn't calibrated. A different kb will tell you if it is hardware or software.

sounds like a hardware problem... why dont you email the service center and ask how much it costs to replace the screen, and then go for it if the price is reasonable? my phone's still under warranty and the guys at the service centre are quite good. went there to fix my lcd and they even helped me replace some other stuff like the metal frame and the digitizer...

I dropped my phone for the second time and now bottom touch sensitive keys aren't working. When I press those keys it registers input as bottom part of touch screen. I can't go back, press menu key or home key. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

I have exactly the same problem.
It seems that display is ok but i cant type letters like:
t, y, f, g, h, c, v, b.
Also, it's similar area when i want to hang up, i can't press red button. However, other applications it seems to work ok.

Did you tried to put phone keyboard in landscape and have you same letters that doesn't work ?
You can download android system info from market and use multitouch test. With one finger you move in all screen area and you see if the circle is on all area. That will tell you if it's hardware or software.

If you have same area not working with keyboard in landscape and with android system info app it's may be hardware related.
You can try to flash back stock sbf to see if it's the same, with a nandroid backup you can restore all after and if you send your phone into warranty you have to flash back your stock sbf.

[Q] HTC sensation back cover not tightly closed

Hello,
My very first thread so go easy on me.
I got a HTC sensation about a month ago and the moment I started using it I noticed that when I click or push on the bottom right of the phone (near the search button) there is kinda ticking like the phone isn't tightly closed(but it is closed..it's kinda moving) dunno how to describe it, I was wondering if it is normal or not, I might be paranoid lol
Also when I click (but strongly) on the bottom right of the screen it does the same like when u push a LCD screen but that doesnt happen anywhere else on the screen.

I have started a thread on this same topic lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258130
I have now noticed it comes and goes it was doing it now its not so i really dont know what to say

Hmmm in my case it doesn't come and go, it's there since I got the mobile, I got waranty for1 year so I am gonna check if they will accept to replace the phone or at least fix it, but that would be after like 2 month cuz I didn't buy the phone from here.

there is a temporary fix floating aroound here somewhere. all they did really was put a post it note on the corner where you here the clickin. try searchin for it.
as for me it does the same thing since i bought it. but its not really that bad and dont really notice it to tell you the truth. i m just wondering if this problem varies among hand sets. as in if its worse for some and not noticeable for others

It may be Your first thread but not the first thread on this subject...bit of advice - would suggest you do a bit of searching first
Anyhow - I posted this in response to thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258130

Just call HTC and tell them the problem, they will send you a replacement back cover for free as long as you send the old one. I just did it and my phone has no more of that ticking or crackling sound at the bottom. Try calling instead of doing an easy fix. U might as well usr ur warranty right?

Black Screen!

First of all, I wanna say HI to all, cuz NOW am a REGISTERED MEMBER, here on this greate forum!
Secund, thanx to all u out there working ur best, to make it easy for us helpless hehe
Now to the subject!
Got a One X that does not start like it should. I think its something I can solve with my two hands, and hopefully not something too hard for me, to send it to some hardware fixer in some factury?!
The following things happens when I PRESS THE ON/OFF-START-button!
1- The red-charging-light turns OFF
2- The phone vibrates.
3- The red-charging-light turns ON
2- HTC Sync starts, and even "folder options" by Windows 7, there I can select to view whats on the memory, like a USB-stick.
And thats it. The screen remains black. Even in a darkroom, there were no light on the screen at all.
The phone is about a year old and I dont think its broken at all. But its the first time a phone is going black-screen on me, so dont actually know what or how to do.
Thats why I turn to u guys, and hope that you can help me in the right direction!
Big thanx from me and especially Iraq & Sweden!

OK, so it's starting like it should but black screen....
Try this - power your phone off then hold the volume down and the power button at the same time. Should start you up on a white bootloader screen. If you don't see the white screen, it's probably a hardware problem with your screen itself :crying: Do you still have warranty?

The "black screen" issue is a fairly common hardware problem from all accounts. It happened to me this past weekend. It's not clear what causes it, but a lot of people have experienced it.
I got AT&T to upgrade me early to a One. I've been fooling around with my One X, but nothing has solved it. I ran the 3.18 ruu on the chance it was a software issue, and it made no difference.

Game Over!

Hello again and thank you for your answers.
I'm really disappointed with this phone. I did not know it would be difficult and so complicated.
It's not even used much and now dead?!
I've tried everything now. Read through many forums and especially on XDA. Tested with different combinations of keys, installation of RUU and even tried to open it and see what the problem is ... BUT NOTHING
Why should this happen to this phone / model?
Always had HTC and never seen anything like this. Really disappointed: (
That said, I have not been able to solve this problem, but many thanks to you for taking the time to respond and give me tips.
Thanks / Yunyii

try putting pressure on the left side of the screen, near the edge, see if it flickers on at all. If so, it could be a loose cable.
